VGinLINE by Volume Graphics, part of Hexagon

VGinLINE

VGinLINE brings the analysis power of VGSTUDIO MAX and AI-supported segmentation to the shop floor, ensuring high-throughput, non-destructive quality control with minimal manual input. Designed to reduce human error and streamline inspection workflows, it enables real-time defect detection and fully autonomous quality monitoring.

Benefits

Turnkey
Making the decision to automate can be difficult. We’ve made sure getting started won’t be. It integrates efficiently into your production process—no programming is required.

Robust
Rest easy knowing you can adapt to any inspection challenge. We offer classical inspection methods or customised, deep-learning-based analyses. 

Fast
Trust you can keep pace with demand. Distribute tasks to multiple workstations and quickly adapt to process revisions and new products with powerful inspection plan handling. 

Capabilities

Automation
Automatically or semi-automatically inspect your parts with a recurring analysis pattern:

  • Fully automated, in-line: 100% inspection in industrial production
  • Fully or semi-automated, at-line: small batch series inspection in industrial production or quality labs
  • Semi-automated: sample tests in quality labs or at service providers

Data handling
VGinLINE reconstructs incoming CT data sets efficiently on the fly. They do not need to be saved on a hard drive or reloaded. Outgoing data, such as statistics or analyses, is passed along to other software via built-in interfaces. An SDK opens up VGinLINE to external systems, such as a shop floor control system. Cavity markers in the CT scans can be recognised, stored, and used to select the corresponding inspection plan.

In-house configuration 
With VGinLINE, you always have total control of your system and your data.

You can easily configure and reconfigure VGinLINE, whether you need to adjust for minor changes to the product design or want to inspect a different product. Furthermore, it supports the Windows event log to log every relevant action to improve accountability and security. Access control to the system can be easily realised via the familiar Windows permission system, e.g., allowing only certain users to change configurations. 

Job execution
With jobs, you define what VGinLINE does with CT data sets. 

  • Use VGSTUDIO MAX to create macros and templates while drawing from the full scope of available analyses.*
    * Depends on license 
  • Build a new job from scratch by combining macros and templates, or duplicate and modify an existing job.
  • In VGinLINE, if necessary, you can include if-then statements in your jobs—simply via drag and drop.
  • To save time, you can tell the software to execute recurring steps within the inspection process only once.
  • More important jobs will be calculated first based on your assigned priority.
  • Our software assists you with setting up jobs and finding inconsistencies.
  • If an inspection cannot be finished (e.g., because of a computer or network problem), VGinLINE ensures it will be processed again.
  • The dashboard keeps you informed about the status of your inspections and the results for every part in real time.

Reporting
VGinLINE can export data for archiving purposes. The software ensures that this data is complete: For example, VGinLINE stores a CAD file that it used for inspection together with the result when exporting.
